Dynatrace

Dynatrace — hosts, problems, alerting profiles, dashboards (environment API v2 + classic dashboards API).

Namespace: weave dynatrace Env: DYNATRACE_ENV_URL

Commands

Observability

Setup

Configure credentials via environment variables. We recommend sourcing them through 1Password or your secrets manager rather than committing them to the shell rc.

Official API reference

weave commands for this module are checked against the vendor's published API.

Environment API v2

Variable	Description	Status
DYNATRACE_ENV_URL	Required for authentication.	required
DYNATRACE_API_TOKEN	Required for authentication.	required

Sanity-check the wiring:

weave secrets check
weave dynatrace --help
weave doctor   # reports DYNATRACE_ENV_URL status

snapshot / diff / apply are generated automatically from the State Kinds declared on this module — see the State kinds section below for per-kind details. Workflow: snapshot → edit YAML → diff → apply --yes (or confirm interactively; apply --dry-run previews the same diff).

State kinds

Resources this module can snapshot and diff; apply where the kind supports live writes (see Round-trip per kind). Always run diff before apply; use --yes in automation after review. Files live under .weave-state/dynatrace/.

This module is on the thinner integration path — use snapshot / diff for audit; confirm apply per kind below before relying on writes.

hosts

snapshot diff apply

Dynatrace monitored hosts — snapshot + diff only (entities API is read-only).

Scope: —
Round-trip: Snapshot + diff (apply not wired).

Workflows

End-to-end recipes from operators who already run this module in production. Copy, adapt, and put under change-control.

Hosts audit

Snapshot and diff hosts (read-only; apply is intentionally not implemented).

weave dynatrace snapshot hosts
$EDITOR .weave-state/dynatrace/hosts.yaml
weave dynatrace diff hosts

Terraform parity

For each Terraform resource in the canonical provider, here's the equivalent live-API verb in weave. Use this as a migration cheat-sheet, not a 1:1 contract — weave deliberately stays in the live-state lane, not the desired-state lane.

Terraform resource	weave equivalent
dynatrace_hosts	weave dynatrace snapshot/diff hosts Snapshot/diff only; the vendor API does not support generic writes for this kind.

Troubleshooting & source

Missing credentials

Run weave doctor — it reports which env vars (including DYNATRACE_ENV_URL) are set and which are blank.

Unexpected behaviour from a state apply

Re-run weave dynatrace diff <kind> to confirm the controller's current state, then re-snapshot before the next apply. The driver always re-snapshots before diffing.
